Okay Lara, here you go! Althought, let me first start by saying that when I read about what you were doing 10 years ago I died laughing at the woman part. And it also made me feel really old.

10 years ago:

Okay, ten years ago I was in my second year at BYU. I had already decided on Elementary Education for my major and was taking the preliminary classes for the major. I was probably rolling my eyes at my El Ed dance teacher and trying not to laugh hysterically at her antics. I was in a couple of classes with my best friend and found out that you can, in fact, get in trouble in college. I spent a lot of time going shopping, watching movies, Dawson Creek (oh my gosh...Pacey vs. Dawson...how can you decide?!?), eating, and hanging out with my friends. And honestly should have spent more time studying. Oh well. Those were some good times.

5 Places I've visited:
*Most of the whole country of Germany (I lived there for 4 years and loved it)
*Paris, France
*Venice, Florence, and Pisa Italy
*Cancun, Mexico
*Denmark and Netherlands (okay, more than 5, but I didn't want to hurt Netherland's feelings)

5 Things on my to do list:
*call my insurance lady
*work more on my blog journal printing/pasting, etc.
*start the next book for Book Club
*mail a birthday present and a baby present
*work on my cross-stitching

3 bad habits:
*I am a constant worrier--you name it I worry about it
*always procrastinating cleaning the bathrooms and mopping the floors
*I tend to repeat myself/ask the same question a lot...I tend to repeat myself/ask the same question a lot

5 life time goals:
*To finally lose those last 10 pounds
*To be a good mom and make Avery's (and any future children) life fun, enjoyable, and memorable
*Be more physically active, to make it more of a priority and have a better attitude about it
*To live in a bigger house, with more storage, and feel more permanent in our living situation so I feel like I can put the effort in of painting and fixing it up the way I like. I would love to have enough storage space so that my house didn't feel like it was cluttered or on the verge of exploding
*To live closer to my family so that we can be more a part of each others' lives

5 things you might not know about me:
*I don't usually like game systems, but am obsessed with Guitar Hero and Rock Band. If I had the funds I would go out and buy it right now...but then I would probably turn into a bad mom. Maybe it's a good thing we don't have it. All I can say is that I rocked out to In Bloom over Christmas break and it was awesome.
*I used to be hugely (real word?) overweight. True story. Since 3rd grade. It wasn't until my 3rd year of college that I started losing weight. It has been a battle my whole life. Ugh!!!
*I am a really good swimmer and have been swimming since the age of 3. I used to compete on a swim team and loved it. It has been a long time though, since I've swam competitively and I have no doubt that I am out of shape.
*I LOVE the holidays. LOVE. I love decorating, the planning, the parties, the food, the family, the friends, the lights, the shopping, the wrapping paper, Santa (love him!), the Easter Bunny, the baking, the commercialism, the excitement, the giving, the getting, finding the perfect gift, all of it.
*I never dated anybody seriously until I dated Al. Seriously. I hated dating. I went, but didn't like it. But when I met Al it was different. And then I loved every second of it. I love our dating/marriage story. I think it is so sweet and romantic.

I tag Sarah, Jessie, Jen, Becca, and whoever else wants to enlighten us
